Qualcomm launches Snapdragon START toolkit to speed AI glasses to market
Qualcomm unveiled Snapdragon START at the Augmented World Expo in Long Beach, California on June 17, 2026, a hardware-and-software toolkit meant to help smaller manufacturers bring AI smart glasses to market faster on Snapdragon AR platforms. It follows Qualcomm's June 2025 Snapdragon AR1+ Gen 1 chip, which cut package size by 26% and can run small on-device language models without a paired phone.
